Virtual Reality trainers
Virtual Reality trainers With the Tacx Virtual Reality trainers cycling becomes a celebration. They offer unlimited entertainment and make an indoor training a real pleasure. What is so attractive about these VR trainers is that not only is the race displayed on the monitor of your PC, but true-to-life signals are transmitted to your bike. On a climb you will feel the gradient through the rear wheel and downhill it is just as if you had wings. There are four types of Virtual Reality trainers, with different brake systems. The Genius Multiplayer and the Genius are the brand new top models of the Tacx collection. The Fortius Multiplayer has been popular for many years now. And the new Flow Multiplayer makes VR training accessible to everyone. All VR trainers use the advanced Tacx Trainer software 3.0. The Multiplayer trainers include a manoeuvrable steering frame and a license for web racing. Powerback The motor brake of the Genius and the Fortius features the Powerback system. This system converts the heat that is generated in the brake and released during the ride, into electricity that is then fed back into the power grid. This means that you are generating your own electricity. When you ride on the Genius, your PC shows the exact amount of energy that is fed back into the power grid. www.tacxvr.com

Tacx Trainer software 3.0 Join the world of Tacx and become addicted to indoor cycling. With the Tacx Trainer software 3.0 you integrate your VR trainer and your computer and transform them into a team with unlimited possibilities. New worlds unfold before you on your monitor and turn cycling at home into a spectacular event – that always will be continued. With the Real Life Video films, for example, you can bring the world’s most famous hills and mountains to life on your computer and immediately climb them. Even though the Madonna del Ghisallo and the Cauberg are almost a thousand kilometres apart, you can still conquer both of these legendary climbs the same evening at home. Or train together with Tom Boonen and his Quick Step team in Spain. You see before you what would actually be seen and the equipment simulates all the elements that make the tour a real-life experience. Going uphill the resistance increases, easing off as you go downhill. Using the control panels on the handlebar you can constantly check your performances, like heart rate, power, speed and pedaling frequency. It’s even better than during a real run. And anyone who has planned a run like that, can prepare himself thoroughly by already exploring the tough sections in advance. Virtual Reality, one big adventure The Tacx Trainer software 3.0 has much more to offer. The five different Virtual Reality terrains guarantee hours of cycling fun. Ride on a real cycle track, test your bike handling skills on the mountain bike, conquer hairpin bends and stay cool during James Bond-like descents. Tacx’s virtual riders move realistically with a superb pedaling style. They rise from the saddle, shift gear, sprint – and celebrate. Join the world of Tacx and be enchanted.

Genius Multiplayer T2000 The Genius Multiplayer, Tacx’s new top model, is unique. The combination of the sturdy frame and the advanced Tacx Trainer software 3.0 makes riding through the virtual worlds a lifelike experience. The Genius Multiplayer has a wireless motor brake with a computer-driven flywheel that generates high power at low speeds. This makes climbing of hills and mountains even more realistic. The communication between brake, interface and PC is wireless; the trainer itself has to be plugged into an electric point. The trainer works with ANT technology and can therefore be combined with power or cadence meters or other ANT applications. The Genius Multiplayer includes the new BlackTrack steering frame. Available autumn 2011. • Including 1 year Multiplayer license

friendly and compact. The front wheel is put into a turnable plate and doesn’t have to be removed from the bicycle.This makes the steering feel better. Thanks to ANT the communication with the PC is wireless. The trainer frame has to be connected to two brackets on the last plate. The steering frame is length adjustable. Rubber at the bottom side prevents the rider from moving and muffles noise. Foldable The BlackTrack steering frame is foldable into a small package and can therefore be stored easily. It fits perfectly into a trainer bag, together with the trainer!

Ergotrainers
Ergotrainers The Tacx ergotrainers enable demanding cyclists to train with scientific precision at the highest level. Not only to improve their fitness, but also to ride themselves into shape at home for their important races and tours of the season. Tacx offers you three ergotrainers. The Bushido is completely wireless and a technical tour de force with many possibilities; step by step you can complete preset training programs. Tacx’s newest high tech ergotrainer is the Vortex, the wireless variant of the Flow that has been popular for many years now. All ergotrainers have a handlebar computer that, during training, shows all the relevant information regarding power (Watt), speed, heart rate and pedaling frequency. Ergotrainer + Upgrade PC = Virtual Reality trainer The great advantage of the ergotrainer is that you can also turn it into a Virtual Reality trainer. With the Upgrade PC package you can upgrade your Bushido, Vortex or Flow to a VR trainer with unlimited possibilities, while at the same time you keep a stand-alone ergotrainer.

The menus are arranged to enable you to start at once. The graphic display of the handlebar computer shows all the relevant information (power, heart rate, pedaling frequency, speed, time, etc).

Cycletrainers
Cycletrainers Tacx has become a household name for cyclists all over the world. Riding their Tacx trainer is the perfect way to train very specific and improve their power and fitness. When the weather is bad or during the cold winter months ‘the Tacx’ is always there, so that they can keep on training. The best pro riders cannot live without their Tacx cycletrainer either. They use it during the warming-up for races and time-trials. The Booster, the new top model, and the trusted Satori are the super powerful cycletrainers of the professional teams of Rabobank, Vacansoleil-DCM, Quick Step, Omega Pharma-Lotto, Saxo Bank-Sungard, Leopard-Trek, RadioShack and Astana. For less demanding cyclists the Sirius and the three Cycletrack trainers are a perfect start. New is the Video Player, a program that can be downloaded from the Tacx website. It makes all Tacx films compatible with the cycletrainers.
The Tacx Booster is the official warming-up trainer at the Olympic Games and the UCI World Championships.

Booster T2500 Give yourself a boost with the Tacx Booster. This new cycletrainer with the sturdy look creates pure power. Thanks to the magnetic brake that is even more powerful than the Satori brake, the Booster generates very high power at low speeds. The Booster can be assembled easily and is also safe, because the brake has been built in so that the rider cannot touch the hot flywheel anymore. The Booster is the new number 1 cycletrainer of the pros for their warming-up and training sessions. But of course the Booster is also available to all the other riders that like ‘to Tacx’. This is the new leading cycletrainer, for everyone. The Booster includes the Skyliner front wheel support. www.tacxbooster.com

Satori T1856 For many years now the sky-blue Satori has been the trusted warming-up trainer for the pros. The robust Satori frame stands its ground almost anywhere and has been designed to withstand incredible forces. The brake consists of a very powerful neodymium magnet, an extra large steel flywheel and a handlebar resistance lever with 10 levels of resistance. At low pedaling frequencies this trainer can generate very high power. It is for instance possible to generate 400 Watt at the relatively low speed of 27 km/h (17 m/h). This is exactly what you need shortly before the start of your race. The Satori includes the Skyliner front wheel support, that also serves as a carrying brace.

Speedbraker T1800 Is equipped with the fan braking system. Resistance is generated by air resistance and increases exponentially when you speed up.
Cycletrack Speedmatic T1810 The Speedmatic is based on the Cycletrack frame. This triangular frame stands stably on any surface. The Speedmatic is equipped with the same brake system as the Sirius, but has a lighter flywheel of 1 kg. Operation of the brake through the 10-position resistance lever is identical.
Magnetic T1820 Cycletrainer with magnetic brake but without handlebar resistance lever. There is a button on the braking unit that allows you to manually set the resistance. There are seven positions.

Cycletrainers
Sirius T1435 The Sirius is a cycletrainer with an ergonomically shaped frame that rebounds slightly while you ride. The magnetic brake contains two discs, each of which is equipped with six permanent magnets. You can use the 10-position resistance lever on the handlebar to shift the magnets’ position inside the brake unit in relation to one another. During your work-out the power increases when you speed up and/or shift to a bigger gear. The Sirius is equipped with a finely balanced steel flywheel of 2 kg to allow for a fluid pedal stroke. The Skyliner front wheel support can be bought as an extra accessory.

Leave the saddle and ride like the stars on the rhythm of the Tacx Galaxia.
Rollers
Rollers The Galaxia and Antares are Tacx’s contribution to the popularity of track racing. Many world champions don’t go anywhere without their Tacx rollers. During their warming-up and training sessions they use the rollers to maintain their speed and suppleness, essential tools for a track cyclist. The Tacx rollers have a state of the art design. Thanks to the conical rollers your ride is extra stable, so you can focus even more on your goals in training: improving your fitness and pedal stroke and maintaining your speed. Riding the Tacx rollers is a relatively easy way to up your track pace and make your muscles more supple. This makes for completely natural movements. You keep pedaling from the hips, just as you would on the road or track. A high pedaling frequency, that is needed for the right feeling in the legs, is also possible. There are cyclists who keep finding it hard to ride without a restraint. They use the support for Antares to secure the bike, without the front wheel, and still cover the mileage in front of them.
The Tacx Antares is the official warming-up trainer at the 2012 Olympic Games.

Galaxia T1100 These revolutionary new rollers by Tacx move with the rider. He can make sprints, stretch his legs and stand on the pedals without having to be afraid to fall. He can move more freely, because training on the Galaxia approaches the natural feeling of the road. Thanks to the kinetic energy that is created during accelerating, the trainer moves forward. When slowing down, the trainer moves backward again. This invention is so unique that is has been patented by Tacx. www.tacxgalaxia.com
Galaxia schommel The Galaxia ‘swing system’ might look a little unsteady at first sight, but it has the opposite effect: thanks to this invention by Tacx the rider can stay on the rollers more easily.

Antares T1000 You can cycle freely on these streamlined rollers and refine your coordination and technique in doing so. The heavy-duty tapered rollers ensure that it is almost impossible to ride off the machine. High concentration on steering is required when riding without a brace; this reinforces your sense of balance. The Antares is – just like the Galaxia – collapsible and measures only 80 cm when collapsed, making it easy to carry. These tough rollers are also ideal for track riders who want to warm up just before their race.

Good material has to be reliable under all circumstances. That’s why professional cycling teams choose Tacx.
Bottles & bottle cages
Bottles & bottle cages Professional teams and their mechanics choose Tacx. For a reason: because good material has to be reliable under all circumstances. During the cycling season the bikes of all the Tacx Pro Teams contain the Tao and Uma, Tacx’s top bottle cages. The Tao carbon is used by the pro riders in the tough mountain stages. The Tacx Pro Teams also use the Shiva team bottles. These sturdy water bottles are manufactured in the nature-friendly Bio-Bottle version. Bottle Promotions A Tacx water bottle printed with a custom design is available in a minimum quantity of 500. This is the specialty of Bottle Promotions, which is part of Tacx BV and is well-known for their years of experience, delivering top quality and outstanding service. www.bottlepromotions.com

Team bottles, Uma During the cycling season, the top riders of Rabobank, Quick Step, Vacansoleil-DCM, Omega Pharma-Lotto, Saxo Bank-Sungard and Astana all use the Shiva bottle in the Bio-Bottle version. This nature-friendly, biodegradable bottle is a modern necessity for a better environment. Tacx and its riders proudly play a part in this process. Adding a small amount of the material named Bio-batch alters the molecular structure, which
Biodegradable
makes the material decompose into Biogas and Biomass. These nourish the soil and are entirely absorbed by nature. Light, heat and humidity do not effect the high quality of this product. The Shiva forms a perfect combination with the Uma. Team bottles

Sometimes a race has already been decided before the riders have turned a wheel. Tacx bicycle tools.
Tools & extra’s
Tools & extra’s Tacx bicycle tools are used on a daily basis by mechanics in the leading racing teams. They choose Tacx on account of its high quality and reliability. Cycle maintenance is not just the preserve of these specialists; anyone can get down to work at home with Tacx tools.
